League Notes: Rivals Demand Details Of 'Spying' By Leeds United

1.25.2019

League Championship side Leeds United’s rivals have asked for the times, dates and reports of every reconnaissance mission carried out by the club. Officials from 11 League Championship sides have written to the English Football League "demanding" that information, along with the identity of the "spy" in each case and the amount of any payments that were made. The letter sent last Friday claims that Leeds breached an EFL regulation for clubs to behave with "utmost good faith" toward each other (LONDON TIMES, 1/24).

German boxing champion Zeina Nassar is "fighting to change international boxing rules so she and other women can wear a hijab in the ring." Nassar is a five-time German champion and has "already had success in changing the rules in her home country." She says her next mission is to "change international boxing rules" (STUFF, 1/24).
